Eddie Izzard's entrance on 'The Late Late Show' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS) was mildly reminiscent of Tom Cruise's appearance on 'Oprah.' But did Cruise lose his breath? Izzard jumped up and down on the host's couch chairs, at one point diving over the back.

"I was just about to [read] the tweets and emails -- I don't suppose I could persuade you to help me?" asked Craig Ferguson. Through panting gasps, the comedian replied, "No, I'm exhausted."

"I'll fill in some time while you get your breath back," said Ferguson. He grabbed a harmonica and began playing a lonesome tune.

Izzard picked up on it and started doing some improv: "It's a cold night, Sarge -- cold night here in the trenches." The host added, "That's right, there youngen, but don't you worry 'cause I got here me mouth organ."
